I have a DC figure frustration! I bought a Red Lantern Guy Gardner figure and when I tried taking it out of the box, the stupid plastic encased around him was so tight around him I had wondered what the point of him also having wire ties holding him were. But what REALLY ****** me off was while trying to pry him out, my finger slipped and nicked his red chainsaw weapon, and the handle for it broke off ! The plastic they use was really cheap and brittle, but I still have the part, would you recommend just super glue to re-secure it back on or would something else work better for that? Thanks

What stores are carrying the unlimited line? It seems to me if they are trying to target kids and moms with suburbans, they aren't doing a vary good job because I have yet to see any of these figures and they are now on their what third wave?

One Gum Drop to rule them all, One Gum Drop to find them,
One Gum Drop to bring them all and in the sweetness bind them
In the Land of Candy where the Gingerbreads lie.

Totally agree. I'm the guy who never misses the toy aisle at 3-5 Wal-Marts, a Target, a K-Mart, and a TRU and I've never seen any trace of these figures.

I got my Saint Walker and he is by far a disappointment. His ab crunch can only go back about a CM. His ankle joints can also only go back by about a CM (in fact, trying to move one of them back bent the plastic cover the joint), one of the joints inside his wrist is half white half blue. And he cannot hold his lantern battery. *** Mattel? At least his head can be posed looking upward.

Can someone PM me the US number for Matty? I want to talk to someone who might has a clue of what is going on.

For anyone interested, I got N52 Superman and Hawkman from Target just a few minutes ago. They aren't out on the shelves but I had gotten the DPCI number from a guy online and they had those (not Batman though).

DC - 087-06-1323
Batman - 087-06-1980

Toy Fair 2013 is in less than two weeks, but that isn't stopping Warner Bros. Consumer Products from already discussing the items they're going to show off. A lot of different franchises will be seeing a wide variety of merchandise this year and we've got an extensive list for each....

Mattel will be bringing us more Batman toys as they introduce the Batman Sonic Strike™ 10-inch Figure, the Batman Spin Strike Bat Jet and the Batman Blast Lane™ Batmobile, as well as additional figures and characters. WBCP also announced that Fisher Price will be taking on the Super Friends license to create toys for a younger audience.

We'll also be seeing more DC Comics figures as the lines continue to grow from LEGO and Mattel. Other companies taking on the comic versions of characters also include Jakks Pacific, Jumbo Games, Molli Toys, Thinkway Toys, and NECA.

The most exciting thing for some fans from this announcement though is the confirmation that we will be seeing 6" figures of the classic Adam West Batman TV series. WBCP confirms we will be getting: Mattel vintage-styled Batman Ken® and Catwoman Barbie® collection, and a BATMAN™ Classic TV Series 6" Figure Assortment, BATMAN™ Classic TV Series TV Moments 2 Pack, as well as a BATMAN™ Classic TV Series Batmobile. Rubie's will introduce a line of costumes based on series favorites including Batman, Robin, Catwoman, The Riddler, and The Joker.

Other companies granted the 'classic 60s' Batman license include Funko, Mezco, NECA, and Cryptozoic. There will also be a variety of high-end collectibles from Noble Collection, Sideshow Collectibles, TriForce, Kotobukiya, Medicom and Hot Toys. Finally, Hot Wheels will be creating a high-end Elite Scale replica inspired by the 1966 Batmobile.

WBCP also announced that for the upcoming "Beware the Batman" animated series will have figures developed by Mattel and the licenses for the video games Batman: Arkham Asylum. Batman: Arkham City, and Injustice: Gods Among Us will all be seeing some form of merchandising this year.

This morning, we posted about the various companies that will be bringing us Man of Steel merchandise this year (see that by clicking here) and now USA Today has posted some more images of what we'll be getting this summer from LEGO, Funko, and Mattel. Check those out below.

Which of these are you the most excited about seeing?

If Mattel releases Batman TV show figures with its Batmobile, it would be the the second DC 6" figs vehicle and first car (first being DK MM Batpod), and I hope it'd be sweet!

Hmm, I'd want at least a figure of each Catwoman from the 60s. And things like Egghead would be interesting too. Just the Adam West Batman as a figure doesn't do anything for me now.

See, just the West Batman alone would be something fantastic for me - it's a long story, but the show has always been hugely important to me, and that figure would be worthwhile in and of itself.

I will be completely thrilled to get him, Robin & Batgirl, the four major villains (preferably Newmar's Catwoman for me), and maybe Egghead, King Tut and Mr. Freeze (any). That's all I'm going to hope for, but I'll probably buy anything they make.

Oh great, so instead of giving me the characters that matter like Ras, Talia, DKR Joker, they are going to give me ugly ass figures from a piece of **** tv series? Thanks Mattel, love how much you appreciate our support of the line.

BTW, after watching TDKR Pt2 today, Mattel MUST do a Joker figure since they are doing a Batman.

If I compared anything Mattel released to Figuarts I would throw up. Nothing Mattel releases can compare at all.

Ouch. Those Injustice figures make me glad that the only DC figures I buy are New Gods characters and Batman villains.

Speaking of... I would buy the crap out of a Julie Newmar Catwoman. She could hang out with my Movie Masters Anne Hathaway Catwoman.

I've seen the DC Unlimited at two TRUs now - both places only had Flash and Superman. I was surprised at how little cross-sell there is on the packaging - just a pair of two-tone head shots on the back.

Ok so these are Four Horsemen sculpts? What is going on these look horrible??? That Joker isn't even close to the game shots shown, Darkseid just looks weird and like he's not wearing pants, and Injustice Superman and Vampire Bats just look bad? I don't see how these can be saved?
